rcuscale: Add kfree_rcu() single-argument scale test
The single-argument variant of kfree_rcu() is currently not tested by any member of the rcutoture test suite. This commit therefore adds rcuscale code to test it. This testing is controlled by two new boolean module parameters, kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double. If one is set and the other not, only the corresponding variant is tested, otherwise both are tested, with the variant to be tested determined randomly on each invocation. Both of these module parameters are initialized to false, so setting either to true will test only that variant. Suggested-by: Paul E.
